New Half Blood Prince Footage

This will be my favorite one. I don't care how much I'm hyping it in my mind. Unlike most, I liked Order of the Phoenix, which was directed by the same director as this one and Deathly Hallows Pt. I & II.

First Harry Potter Half Blood Prince Posters!

I'm not sure how I feel about these dutched text angles.

Twilight Midnight Premiere

So today I saw Twilight at midnight ... and it was really good :-D

Yes, I went in a Harry Potter costume. Yes, I know Harry Potter would not be the film I would be watching. Why do it? I wanted to remind people about Harry Potter and that its original release date was November 21, 2008, before Twilight took it over, before Warner Brothers did the most hateful deed of pushing Half-Blood Prince to a much later date (next year in July). I was expecting to get mobbed but a lot of Twilight fans were cheering me on for my costume. Some even knew why I had the costume before I told them the story. So ... I went through the line and took pictures with the fans that were wearing t-shirts! Enjoy the photos! There will be a videoblog I'll post later on today ... I might be on ReelzChannel on "first fans."

They were my favorite bunch of Twi-hards.

At first the girl to the left didn't want to take a photo at all, then, she was biting at my neck!

Many people came up to remind me that Harry Potter wasn't playing today. I thought that was funny.

Woah! Team Snape!

The guy to the far left was a "line manager" and he was awesome!

She had the most unique t-shirt. No one else in line had it.

Tania came along without reading any of the books.

And she proceeded to try and bite my neck. Seems to be a theme, huh?

Peace. VideoBlog coming right after this post.

Funny Interview With Dan Radcliffe

The actor who plays Harry Potter is once again appearing in Details Magazine, this time in their October issue to promote Equus. Details' website has online a video interview with Dan, who's sporting a very unique new hairstyle for the magazine's photoshoot.

Radcliffe is a little manic. He leans forward as he talks—arms tightly folded, eyes darting about, speaking quickly through a clenched jaw that's lightly dusted with stubble. It's likely that Radcliffe is a bit jumpy about being in public—since we left his Manhattan hotel against his handlers' wishes, a bodyguard trailing by a discreet half-block, our stroll has attained the frisson of a Compton roll with Snoop Dogg.

"Not particularly," Radcliffe says when asked if he's nervous. "No, no, no, not at all! The reason I'm looking around is 'cause I always like to clock where everybody is in terms of who's recognized me. 'Cause they try to be subtle and they never are."

What's the latest count?

"Well, there were those two Japanese girls, and that couple over there, and those other two girls, and that mother and daughter . . . "

Slughorn's Christmas Party & No Trelawney

Also there will be no Sibyll Trelawney in Half-Blood Prince.

You may recall in the book that it was Trelawney who indirectly informed Harry of two important facts, 1) Draco was 'celebrating' in the Room of Requirement and 2) Snape was the one who overheard her telling Dumbledore about Harry/Voldemort's prophecy.

Memorial Day

Was pretty good. If you don't like reading without pictures you should not continue pass this line.

So I think I woke up at eight or something like that so I could get prepared for Memorial Day BBQ with my dad and family. He picked us up around 10:00 AM with my little half brother Kai. After Kai relieved himself we left and I drove to the park (missed the turn because I was going "too fast"). When we got the the Baldwin Hills park we set up at the picnic area and we did through the wuffle ball around. Good fun, except I couldn't throw anything to my dad because the wind kept carrying my balls into him instead of over the plate. All good fun though. We had been there for a while until the rest of the party did. When they came, though, they had food! So I grabbed a few pineapple, watermelon and strawberry. Hmmmm. It took another long while before the others came and then we could go to the game: Softball!

So the teams were like this:
Bandele Team
My dad
My stepmom
My half-sister Zaria
My brother Aaron
Some little girl
Some little boy

Brisker Team
Uncle Jabaar
Uncle Keem
Auntie Kiyah
Robert
Jessica
Shakiba
A mom

*I could be forgetting someone*

The beginning of the game for me is rather foggy because it was less exciting but at one point we came back and tied the game 9-9 and that's when we determined that we'd go up to 15 and the game would be won. So, we got up and had a nice little rally, I could be forgetting a few finer details but I believe we had 14-9 by the end of our inning or it could have been 14-11, I think? In any case my dad was up when we have 14 and we all thought he would have it easy. But when he hit it he hit it really high, giving enough time for anyone to get under it. And sure enough, Jessica did, and she caught it. Oh no! Our beautiful win! The next time we were up I think they either got 11 or 12, again kinda foggy. At one point I dived for a fly ball that went over my dad's head. Darn. It would have been such a sweet catch. Eventually we got to give back up and I think I won it on a grounder that got pass an outfielder. Yay!

So then we all went back to go eat and my Auntie Kiyah asked if I would do this very silly Music Video about something called "Pants off, dance off" which I declined. Oh silly Kiyah. Then I had some fish, and some more fruit and some of this and some of that. My brother was playing chess with a girl! Woot! Go Aaron! They were having fun.

6:00 PM was coming soon and I needed to get home because I promise some folks on this Harry Potter RPG (snitchseeker.com) that I'd help to construct rules for a dueling club. So we went home and the minute I get there and am all set up with snitchseeker Ben calls me about playing Dungeons and Dragon with him, Alan and Hilary. I do a ARGHFLAGEMS and I rush to transfer everything I was doing from my PowerPC G4 onto my crappy PC laptop (can't wait for MacBook Pro during graduation) and when Ben came we were at.

Honestly, I don't remember anything from DnD (Dungeons and Dragons). I was too immersed in what was going on on snitchseeker. The moderators on the site said that our test was out of regulation and that we needed to make a new game. Again, I did an ARGHFLAGEMS. So we played the game as plan but right after I went ahead, trying to think of ways to create a new game. But for a long time I was stumped. I actually did not think up an idea until I got back home from DnD. A brilliant plan! I wrote it up and did this and that. I believe I was up pretty late doing it but eventually I got there and it's all finished. I don't have my book for English though. Eek! Hopefully no quiz.

Good Memorial Day.

Peace!
